Amy Crosby, David Duberstein

September 10, 2017

Amy Jeanne Crosby and David Michael Duberstein were married Sept. 9 at Grace Estate Winery in Crozet, Va. David M. Norris, a civil marriage officiant certified by the Charlottesville Circuit Court, officiated, with Scott V. McGoohan, a friend of the couple, leading the vows.

Mrs. Duberstein, 33, is a managing director, overseeing the Washington office, of PSB Research, a polling and market research consultancy. She graduated with distinction from the University of Michigan.

She is a daughter of Nancy Becker Crosby and Stephen L. Crosby of Manhattan. The bride’s father is the director of digital media atthe Hess Corporation, an oil and natural gas company in Manhattan.

Mr. Duberstein, 32, is the political research director of the Human Rights Campaign, an advocacy group in Washington for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people. In 2016, he was a senior researcher, working in Brooklyn, for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. He graduated from the University of Maryland.

He is a son of Phyllis Sheerr Duberstein and Donald J. Duberstein of Boynton Beach, Fla. The groom’s mother retired as a substitute elementary and middle school teacher at Rye Country Day School in Rye, N.Y. His father manages investments in real estate, stocks and bonds.

The couple briefly connected online in 2013 after a mutual friend tweeted a profanity-laced column (about decorative gourds and the arrival of fall) from the McSweeney’s daily humor website to her followers; Ms. Crosby had shared this column with her friend initially. Mr. Duberstein, who was among the friend’s Twitter followers, was thoroughly entertained, and retweeted it himself. A few months after their Twitter connection, and with a boost from their mutual friend, the two met in person.
